Failed to run stream with gst-launch

[htran170642]

Hi there,
It's OK when check stream playable with ffprobe but
I run into a problem when trying to check stream generated from your theta plugins with gst-launch-1.0 (version GStreamer 1.16.3). The pipeline was hang with the command below:

 gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri="rtsp://192.168.0.140:8554/live?resolution=1920x960" source::short-header=1 ! queue ! videoconvert ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! h264parse ! matroskamux ! filesink location=check_compatible_cam2.mp4

Do you have any ideas? Thank you so much.

Hi,

Could you please give us more detailed information?

• Which Theta model are you using ?
• Which plugin are you using ?
• I guess that you intend to do RTSP streaming by Theta. Then 192.168.0.140 is IP address of Theta, is my understanding correct ?

Best regards,
Daisuke Hohjoh

@DaisukeHohjoh
client side give me these 2 information:

• camera: https://thetaz1.com/ja/
• plugin: https://github.com/ricohapi/theta-plugins/tree/main/plugins/com.sciencearts.rtspstreaming

I guess that you intend to do RTSP streaming by Theta. Then 192.168.0.140 is IP address of Theta, is my understanding correct ?
correct. And I wanna do something further with this IP address of Theta using gstreamer but it's not working with gstreamer so far.

There is information on the RTSP plugin here:
https://community.theta360.guide/t/rtsp-streaming-plug-in/4556?u=craig

as a baseline test with ffmpeg, can you try this to see if the plugin works?

ffplay -fflags nobuffer -i rtsp://192.168.2.101:8554/live?resolution=1920x960

You need to change the IP address above to the IP address of the RICOH THETA camera on your network.

Have you considered connecting the RICOH THETA to a cheap single board computer with a USB cable and then streaming it from the single board computer (like jetson nano)?

There's an RTSP example:

Suggest you post to community.theta360.guide as there may be more people that can help. This GitHub repo is for general plugins for the RICOH THETA.

Note that I don't work for RICOH. I'm a guy with a camera that helps manage the independent community.
